Doorstep pickup
Our driver rings your bell at 6, whether you are at home in Mysuru, in a palace side hotel or near the bus stand. Mysore to Kollur is 365 km, and a morning start means darshan the same evening. Instead of crossing the city, the car joins the expressway, runs past Srirangapatna and peels off at the Pandavapura junction for the KR Pet road. On the way home, if you arrive by day, the palace keeps visitors till about half past five. Pack one set of temple clothes on top.
Breakfast
KR Pet, 55 km from Mysore, is the breakfast halt for the car, about an hour and a quarter after leaving. Krishnarajapete, as the taluk town is properly called, stands at about 790 m in Mandya district. Fifteen minutes is enough for four. If the family enjoys temple carving, the Hoysala Lakshminarayana temple at Hosaholalu is only about 2 km west on the Bherya road, built around 1250; keep it for the drive home. Channarayapatna is 40 km on, and the Shivamogga road follows after Arsikere.
Tea
Forty km after breakfast the car touches NH75 at Channarayapatna, 95 km from home, and a ten minute tea suits everyone. Trains for Karwar and Mangalore cross the town, so a shut gate at the railway sometimes holds traffic. Up on a rocky hill a dozen km off, Shravanabelagola's Gommateshwara waits for its next grand anointing, due in 2030, so ordinary days need no detour. Coconut groves start soon after, as the car swings away from the highway towards Arsikere, 60 km ahead.
Tea and fuel
Arsikere, 155 km out, sits at the meeting of NH73 and NH69, and from here NH69 carries the car north west to Shivamogga. The Ishvara temple in town is a Hoysala work of 1220 that faces east. Locals call this coconut belt Kalpataru Nadu, so a tender coconut is the drink to have. Ten minutes for tea and fuel, as the next 95 km to Shivamogga cross open country. Kollur is still 210 km away.
Lunch
Lunch is in Shivamogga, the Shimoga of road signs and old maps, 250 km into the day. Built along the Tunga, the city opens the way into Malnad, the wet hill belt where Kollur lies. Before leaving, pick up a jar of appe midi, the small mango pickle made around Sagar, a favourite in Malnad homes. Half an hour is enough at the table. From here the car turns west for Hosanagara, roughly 65 km, and Kollur is about 115 km away by the afternoon road.
Malnad tea
Hosanagara, 315 km out, is a small Malnad taluk town on the Shivamogga to Kollur road. Akki rotti and kadubu, the rice flatbread and steamed dumplings of this hill country, are served in local eating places. Nagara fort lies about 17 km away and Humcha, the Jain pilgrim town, is also in this taluk, both for a slower trip. A car can halt ten minutes for tea. Kollur is 50 km on, and the road gets narrower and greener as it nears the Ghats.
Temple town drop
Around eight hours after Mysore the car drops you at the edge of the Mookambika temple street in Kollur, a Western Ghats village in Udupi district. Wear traditional clothes; the temple asks for modest dress. Cameras are not allowed inside, so leave them in the car. The shrine opens before dawn and stays open late into the evening, with a pause in the afternoon on some days, so confirm at the counter. If you have no hotel, the temple runs guest houses.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Kollur Mookambika is about 365 km from Mysore one way, about 730 km for the round trip. The cab goes via KR Pet, Channarayapatna and Arsikere, then NH69 to Shivamogga (Shimoga) and the hill road through Hosanagara. By car it takes about 8 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts.
They are not. On top come our driver bata, tolls, parking and GST. For 3 days, 900 km the car hire is Dzire ₹12,000 Etios ₹13,800 Innova ₹17,400 and Innova Crysta ₹19,200.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. You see it in the quote first. Rate card figure: ₹400 a night.
Yes. Send the Kollur date for a written drop quote; one way runs ₹2 per km above the return rate.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. The coastal road home via Udupi adds km at the same rate.
Yes, but slower. Most rain in the Shivamogga area falls from June to early October, and the last stretch after Hosanagara runs through wet hill forest. The driver keeps a gentle pace and the car reaches in daylight. October to March is the most pleasant season for the Kollur visit.
Yes, with breaks. We stop at KR Pet for breakfast, at Channarayapatna and Arsikere for tea, and at Shivamogga for lunch, so no leg is very long. Pack snacks, water and spare clothes in the car. Tell us at booking if you need a child seat.
